<em>In a sea of imperfect options, this is the one I feel best about! We made something great for three years, and now we're going to go do something else. The only regret I have is that Bustle will outlive us and I will never be able to icily reject a million-dollar check from Bryan Goldberg, but that's pretty much it.</em> - The Toast will be <a href="http://the-toast.net/2016/05/13/we-are-closing-the-toast-july-1st/">closing on July 1st</a>. "What is going to happen on July 1st, exactly? We're just going to stop adding new content with any regularity. I'm going to keep the site up until the heat-death of the universe, and the ads will still run so I get fifty cents every few weeks or whatever, and from time to time we might run something just for funsies."

It was obvious that in order to be successful in this biz, you need to be good with humor, drawing, math and computers. Well we kick some serious butt at drawing and math so we figured 2 out of 3 wasn't bad. tag:metafilter.com,2012:site.118985Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:09:50 -0800netbroslolsecretz--memes collidehttp://www.metafilter.com/64853/lolsecretzmemes%2Dcollide

Anyone presently surfing the net at work may appreciate <a href="http://www.powerloafing.com">Powerloafing w/ Cubicle Carl</a>. This miniature sitcom about a guy who goofs off takes place entirely in a cubicle – an admittedly thin premise that delivers more comedy than expected, with the current episode placing that cubicle on the Starship Enterprise. It's co-produced by an Emmy award winning <a href="http://www.mikeupchurch.net">comedy writer</a>, (Mr. Show, Chris Rock Show, Mad TV) and a group of alt-comedians you'll recognize if you're a comedy nerd, including: supernerd <a href="http://www.brianposehn.com">Brian Posehn</a> and supergeek <a href="http://www.blainecapatch.com">Blaine Capatch</a>. Interesting side note: it's shot on a <a href="http://powerloafing.blogspot.com/2005/11/powerloafing-soundstage-is-living-room.html">fake office set</a> in a small apartment in North Hollywood. Everyone works for free, even the semi-celebs, and it's <a href="http://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons,</a>.

The irreverent <a href="http://www.bushorchimp.com/">bushorchimp.com</a>, dedicated to visual comparisons of the President and various look-alike primates has closed down. I understand that we're in the midst of a crisis, but is Bush now beyond criticism? Ok, maybe pictures that compare Bush to monkeys aren't exactly thoughtful criticism...
